Remember to put FREE RPG Day on your calendar for June 18th.  The offerings this year seem less interesting than ever, never the less, I am glad someone thought of this idea.  The web-site says this year's offering features "more product than ever," but it can't be that much more if memory serves.   It's hard to believe this is their ninth year offering free stuff.  Finally, it's not too late for your own FLGS to sign up, but I imagine the deadline is approaching fast.  I spoke to my local FLGS manager about his store signing up today.  We'll see.   :?

Free RPG Day


Truth is worth finding and life is too short to work for money.

I always enjoy the DCC offerings. This year their module has two introductory adventures, one for DCC Lankhmar and one for Mutant Crawl Classics (their upcoming take on Gamma World):
Dungeon Crawl Classics

There's a Chaosium Call of Cthulhu adventure by Sandy Peterson. New & 32 pages long. I don't recall Chaosium participating previously, unless I'm forgetting. Only at Bronze level (2/box), so might be harder to find.
Chaosium joins Free RPG Day 2016 with a new Call of Cthulhu scenario by Sandy Petersen! - Chaosium Inc.

I started to write that's not true, but Transatlantic Terror is of course an Age of Cthulhu scenario from Goodman. I suspect you're correct, and agree the Chaisoum books will go quickly.

I usually aim for the Paizo, Goodman, Troll Lord, and LotFP items... Not sure how I'll find them all this year, no new stores near me signing up :(


I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Shoulda been: ".. from Pangreenia to Floratopolis, from mystical Treeonia of spectral Forests to Schruborial dimensions." - The Forests of Leng

When the 2 stores near me (one 30 minutes away, one 60 minutes away) stopped participating, I stopped collecting them.  ;-)

I have 2 stores in town participating this year, instead of just 1, so I may end up with some spares to trade, perhaps.

The ones that look interesting to me are:

- Chaosium's The Derelict
- Sasquatch's Primeval Thule
- Pelgrane's Night's Black Agents (but haven't they supported Free RPG Day before, too?)
- Khepera's Atlantis (ditto?)

Hi Axel, if I can get an extra I will happily send one your way.  Jim at LotFP will probably have some extras available for sale through his site too, so I bet you'll be able to get one direct too.

I looked for it on the NK site but didn't see anything. I think I caught your post after they took it down. That's really bad form for NK to be selling that on the "free day".

Unfortunately, I missed out on Free RPG Day this year, since the site listed two stores in town participating, but it turns out our main store (the one where we game) wasn't.  I went by there yesterday in the morning; the other store I got to today, and everything I was interested in was gone---I got the last pack of freebies, which included none of the above.

So, anyone interested in trading?  I'm most interested in the CoC title, then the Atlantis and Thule titles.  I have these:

- Paizo Rise of the Runelords cards packet
- Faith - The Sci-Fi RPG
- Valiant Universe RPG QS Rules
- PF Module We B4 Goblins

Thanks!

Our local store was hosed for both Free RPG day and the Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars/X-wing event for Father's day by their distributor(s) who didn't ship their boxes of goods in time.

I'm hoping this means the store might get the box in the next day or two. Cross your fingers.

Perhaps interest to some.

NobleKnight has added some of the Free RPG Day stock to their site for .01 - you can add a one penny item to your order for every $15 you spend.  They don't have the all the best stuff (Chaosium, LotFP, Chessex dice) but they do have the pathfinder mod and few other indies available.

The retailers friends I have avoid this. The Free RPG Day is not free to the retailers but instead a way for marking products at the cost of retailers.

I am looking for the LotFP Slugs supplement and Call of Cthulhu Adventure "The Derelict". These were the first to go at my FLGS. I can trade the B4 Goblins module and Tup PACG character. I have a few of the other 2016 items as well.
